<quoted text>Sorry. It is some o=polyamorists' fight. You don't get to dismiss it just like people against SSM don't get to dismiss your fight.When I think of people who support SSM but not poly marriage, the first thing that comes to mind is "hypocrite". But perhaps you have a valid reason to deny marriage equality that I haven't heard yet?

Basically, Frank, I don't know enough about plural marriages. You know, I've been dealing with one-to-one marriage for so long that it just hasn't come up. I don't know how the dynamics work in a relationship where there is more than two people.

And it's not the kind of relationship that I could ever see myself being involved in.

I guess, in some ways we already have a type of plural relationships in our society by way of divorce. I try to think of it from the perspective of a kid who has a father and step-mother 4 days a week and a mother and a step-father 3 days away. That kid is living with two sets of parents who are intimately connected by that child's birth.

As I said before, it's not something that I'm going to run out and support. But I wouldn't likely great opposition to it.

It's not on my radar. I don't know of those kinds of families. And I could never see myself being in anything other than a monogamously coupled relationship.

It is not discrimination to not allow everyone to be married. Not everyone needs or should be married. It is not about equal rights. I'm a woman and lived with a man for 20 years. I didn't have to be married to him and didn't want to be married to him. It doesn't mean we couldn't be together.

Dont mind him, he claims he is for SSM but he doesnt actually actively support poly either, wont lift a finger for it, so if he is calling you a hypocrite for it, he is calling himself one as well.

<quoted text>I hate that cut and paste crap! Their posts take forever to read and its just irritating! If these guys can't talk from the heart than its obvious they have no argument. They just dance around and waste their time surfing the internet for rhetoric to preach!

if you don't have facts and data to substantiate your points, then you have nothing. if you've formed your opinions upon false data or information, then you could be wrong about how you think about something.

<quoted text>2 catsMarriage is a compromiseI am a dog person my wife is a cat personSo we have no dogs and 2 catsI dont actually own the cats, as anyone with a cat in the house knows, the cats just let me live there.One of the cats we actually went out and got for my wife, the other was a stray, starving and dying found on the side of the road, wife worked it back to health and it has no intention of leaving.

well that doesn't sound much like a compromise if she has 2 cats and you have no dog! She should have 1 cat and you should have a dog!

Me too. But there are happy poly families out there. And their plight is even worse than that of same sex couples. They can go to prison for it!

I believe their marriages deserve the same respect and consideration as any other marriage.

there aren't enough facts and evidence in the world to change someones feelings on ssm! Yes, you search actualll research to prove a point, but when it comes to speaking your heart if you have to search the internet to find that voice than it is obviously not a discussion the person is passionate about! I don't have a problem with gays, or ssm for that fact.lol. I was just trying to join in on the discussion, there are more people here who support it so I thought I would go against it!lol.
